! Interpret data with caution. The standard error for this estimate is 30–50 percent of the estimate's value.
‡ Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater.
1 Students of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity are included in the "Hispanic or Latino" category regardless of race and are not included in the race categories. “Black” includes African American.
2 The School Crime Supplement sample includes students ages 12–18 and, therefore, might not be representative of students in 6th grade, who are commonly 11–12 years old. Comparisons between students in 6th grade and those in other grades should be made with caution.
3 Income categories presented here approximate the income categories reported by Census. The median household income in 2021 was $70,784 (Current Population Survey, 2021 and 2022 Annual Social and Economic Supplement [CPS ASEC], https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2022/comm/median-household-income.html)
NOTE: Data include only students who reported being enrolled in grades 6–12 and not receiving any of their education through homeschooling during the school year. “During school” includes interactions in the school building; on school property; on the school bus; going to and from school; and using the phone, internet, or social media during the 2021–22 school year. Perceived hate-related words due to personal characteristics totals may sum to more than 100 percent because students could have reported hearing more than one type of hate-related word.
